Why don't you crackers go find something to talk about. Anybody with common sense know doggone well that man did not say those things in that way. You all just found another black celeberty to mess with; all the time bush is destroying this country. Yet instead when that white disc jockey made his comment you white people were the first to say he didn't mean it that way. You crackers have never had to endure no hardship ever like any other race but you always complain. One day yours will come and it won't be nice.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Much of what passes for Black leadership no longer represents African American political interests or opinion, having broken from their progressive mass moorings under the lure of corporate money and “faith-based” government bribes. Black politicians dance to the tunes of Big Business campaign contributors, while many Black preachers “ape the undemocratic and bigoted worst” of their white Christian counterparts. The ambitions of both the secular and religious hustlers converge in Memphis Tennessee, where Black preachers fan the flames of homophobia to elect their chosen candidate, and in Georgia, where an elected Black county executive is poised to run for Cynthia McKinney’s old seat in Congress with the help of real estate interests and money-grubbing mega-preachers, thus threatening to push the Congressional Black Caucus further to the Right. The Black Georgia incumbent congressman’s crime: he’s a Buddhist.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
